The email's subject line pulsed in Amelia's inbox: "Urgent: Confidential Information Regarding Julian Vance." She'd idolized Vance for years, devoured every one of his gritty urban fantasy novels. Now, the attorney's words swam before her eyes. It was all there: the side-by-side comparisons, the uncanny similarities, the blatant appropriation of her own unpublished manuscript. A giggle bubbled up from her chest, escaping before she could stop it. Finally! Her work, her voice, validated in a way she never imagined. She slammed her laptop shut, a sudden energy coursing through her. Time for champagne and a celebratory, albeit slightly vindictive, phone call to her agent.
